# `stage-a-ft-hq`

`stage-a-ft-hq` is a version of [Würstchen](https://huggingface.co/warp-ai/wuerstchen)'s **Stage A** that was finetuned to generate sharper details and textures.
`stage-a-ft-hq` works with any Würstchen-derived model (including [Stable Cascade](https://huggingface.co/stabilityai/stable-cascade)).

## Explanation

Image generators like Würstchen and Stable Cascade create images via a multi-stage process.
Stage A is the ultimate stage, responsible for rendering out full-resolution human-interpretable images.

The original Stage A tends to render smoothed-out textures with a distinctive grain pattern on top.

`stage-a-ft-hq` was finetuned on a high-quality dataset in order to generate cleaner, sharper, more realistic textures with fewer distinctive artifacts.

## Recommended Settings

To generate highly detailed images, you probably want to use `stage-a-ft-hq` (which improves very fine detail) in combination with a large Stage B step count (which improves mid-level detail).
